Egg 15 Month 0% Deal

hillendale

I already have an egg credit card with a 15k limit with no out standing balance but have noticed they are doing a new deal for new customers its 15 month @ 0% i've thought of calling them to cancel my current card to see if they can /will offer me a new deal . Has anyone else tried this before ?
All help welcome

No harm in trying ringing them, with a 15K limit you should be a 'good' customer

Hi Hillendale - I am in exactly the same position and wanted to know this. There was an Egg employee on the board yesterday, and his/her reply to that question is:

You won't automatically be entitled to any offer so I doubt you'd get anything, even if you haven't used your card. Although I have seen in the past that introductory offers have been extended when there's been no use (not recently though as far as I'm aware). You could always just ask them if there's any offer on your card. If you want the introductory offer you'd need to close the Egg Card and then wait 12 months before you could reapply and then you'd get whatever offer is available when you apply.

I have also just now sent a secure message to Egg, and will let you know (would you do the same for me?) what they say. If they won't allow it, I will simply cancel the card and see what's what in 12 months.

Good luck anyway.
Regards
Jen

I spoke with egg today and they have offered me 0% until August with a 2.5% fee not sure if this is available to all customers may be worth checking , let me know how you get on .
